Ingredients

  • flank steak
    2 lb
  • cornstarch
    ½ c
  • coconut oil or cooking oil of choice
    4 tbsp
  • soy sauce

    use tamari for gluten-free

    ½ c
  • brown sugar
    ½ c
  • water
    ¼ c
  • cornstarch
    1 tbsp
  • red pepper flakes
    ¼ tsp
  • green onions
    3
  • garlic

    minced

    3 clove
  • fresh ginger

    grated

    1 tbsp
  • Cooked rice
  • Extra sliced green onions

Directions

  1. 1

    Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Place the steak strips into a Ziploc bag and add 1/2 cup cornstarch. Seal the bag and toss well to evenly coat all pieces in cornstarch.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce (or tamari), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the sugar and cornstarch.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons coconut oil and let it heat until hot. Shake off excess cornstarch from half the beef strips. Add them in an even layer, breaking up any chunks. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until crispy and browned. Flip with tongs and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes. Transfer cooked beef to a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining oil and beef.

  4. 4

    If necessary, add a bit more oil to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Add sliced green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir and cook carefully for 1-2 minutes without burning. Pour in the prepared sauce mixture, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes until it thickens.

  5. 5

    Return the browned beef to the skillet, tossing it with the thickened sauce so the beef stays crispy. Serve immediately over cooked rice and garnish with extra sliced green onions. Enjoy your delicious Beef Teriyaki!
